Question

1) Gary makes $15.00 per hour for a five-day

forty-hour work week. Also, he makes double-
time for holidays. This week, he works three
regular days and two holidays. What will be his
paycheck for this week?
A) $$40
B) $850
C) $860
D) $870
E) $880

Answer 1

A) $840

Explanation:

15•40 gives us how much money he makes a week normally

divide the result, 600, by 5 to find out how much he makes a day normally which is $120

now that we know how much he normally makes a day we can double $120 to $240 to show how much he makes on holiday days

so he makes $120 normally and $240 on holiday

120•3= 360

240•2= 480

then add

360+ 480= $840

hope this helps <3
